Niagara County IL-042-18
Oct 20, 2018 Local Legislation, Politics
The Niagara County Legislature passed (another) resolution in support of gun rights this week, IL-042-18, specifically opposing the implementation of any sort of Firearms Owner ID (FOID) card and/or firearm owners insurance requirement.
I have seen mention of this floating around the internet recently, but not by either Governor Cuomo or any other elected official so I don’t know where this idea is coming from.

Proposed Nassau storage law
Jul 5, 2018 Local Legislation
I have obtained a copy of the proposed Nassau Co. mandatory firearms storage law.
The legislative clerk’s office insisted I file a FOIL before they would give it to me which was absurd. I was able to get a copy from a legislative aide.
